FIGURE 7. Phylogenetic Tree showing relationships among six major clades of angiosperms. Monocots are nested in a clade that contains Magnoliids and Eudicots. As a result, what used to be called dicots –Amborellaceae, Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales, Magnoliids and Eudicots form a left-over paraphyletic (non-monophyletic) group. Following convention, this group is here labelled as “Dicots” to denote that it is a non-monophyletic, paraphyletic group.
